  • Effect of Some Heavy Metals On
    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 107(Part-2) : 1-19, 2007 EFFECT OF SOME HEAVY METALS ON LAMPITO MAURITII KINBERG (ANNELIDA: OLIGO CHAETA) IN MUNICIPAL WASTES DISPOSAL SITE AND A RESERVE FOREST FLOOR SITE OF WEST BENGAL, INDIA A. CHOWDHURY AND A. K. HAZRA Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053, India INTRODUCTION As a result of the increasing interest paid to the recycling of wastewater, municipal wastes and sewage sludge in agricultural practice, it becomes necessary to study the uptake of heavy metals in invertebrates in general and earthworm in particular. It is evident that earthworm can accumulate heavy metals from surrounding polluted soils and other media in their body (Gish and Christensen, 1973; van Hook, 1974; van Rhee, 1975; Ireland, 1979, 1983; Ash and Lee, 1980; Beyer, 1981; Beyer et 01. 1982; Kruse and Barrett, 1985). But no such work has been carried out in India. To fill up this lacuna the present study has been conducted with the following objectives: To determine whether this dominant species of L. mauritii could be use to absorb the heavy metals in contaminated soil and to compare them with a less polluted controlled reserve forest floor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Earthworm samples were collected month wise at random by digging and hand sorting method. Collected samples were repeatedly washed in water and then kept in double distilled water for 72 hours to evacuate soil from its gut. After that period earthworm samples were preserved in 10% formalin. Preserved samples were washed in double distilled water and then oven dried at 65°C for 48 hours Dried samples were crushed, weighed on a microbalance and acid (Nitric and Perchloric) digested on a hot plate.

  • Pond and Lake Ecosystems a Pond Or Lake Ecosystem Includes Biotic
    Pond and Lake Ecosystems A pond or lake ecosystem includes biotic (living) plants, animals and micro-organisms, as well as abiotic (nonliving) physical and chemical interactions. Pond and lake ecosystems are a prime example of lentic ecosystems. Lentic refers to stationary or relatively still water, from the Latin lentus, which means sluggish. A typical lake has distinct zones of biological communities linked to the physical structure of the lake. (Figure below) The littoral zone is the near shore area where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sediment and allows aquatic plants (macrophytes) to grow. Light levels of about 1% or less of surface values usually define this depth. The 1% light level also defines the euphotic zone of the lake, which is the layer from the surface down to the depth where light levels become too low for photosynthesizers. In most lakes, the sunlit euphotic zone occurs within the epilimnion. However, in unusually transparent lakes, photosynthesis may occur well below the thermocline into the perennially cold hypolimnion. For example, in western Lake Superior near Duluth, MN, summertime algal photosynthesis and growth can persist to depths of at least 25 meters, while the mixed layer, or epilimnion, only extends down to about 10 meters. Ultra-oligotrophic Lake Tahoe, CA/NV, is so transparent that algal growth historically extended to over 100 meters, though its mixed layer only extends to about 10 meters in summer. Unfortunately, inadequate management of the Lake Tahoe basin since about 1960 has led to a significant loss of transparency due to increased algal growth and increased sediment inputs from stream and shoreline erosion.

  • Behavioral Toxicity of Arsenic Trioxide: Alteration in Auto-Grooming Behaviour of a Freshwater Prawn, Macrobrachium Lamarrei
    Open Access Austin Journal of Environmental Toxicology Research Article Behavioural Toxicity of Arsenic Trioxide: Alteration in Auto-Grooming Behaviour of a Freshwater Prawn, Macrobrachium lamarrei Munshi C1* and Bhattacharya S1 Department of Zoology, Visva Bharati University, India Abstract *Corresponding author: Munshi C, Department of Auto-grooming is the act of cleaning body parts which is a robust behaviour Zoology, Visva Bharati University, 731235, India in Macrobrachium lamarrei (Arthropoda: Crustacea: Decapoda), a highly abundant native freshwater prawn species in India. The first and fifth pairs Received: December 31, 2019; Accepted: January 22, of thoracic appendages are the major grooming appendages, which show 2020; Published: January 29, 2020 prominent signs of adaptive modifications. Grooming activity in M. lamarrei is a complex pattern, which is streamlined into two major groups, Anterior Grooming (AG) and Posterior Grooming (PG), depending on the body area. Anterior grooming is broadly divided into Carapace Grooming (CG) and Ventral Cephalothorax Grooming (VCG) and Posterior Grooming is further divided into Ventral Abdomen Grooming (VAG) and Dorsal Abdomen Grooming (DAG). Prawns were exposed to 1.72 ppm of arsenic trioxide for 15 days and the dose was found to be non lethal. Therefore, we selected this non-lethal concentration for a 24 h exposure schedule to study different grooming patterns. We report for the first time that 1.72 ppm of arsenic trioxide induced notable auto-grooming alteration in this species and the prawns were found to spend considerably more time to groom each body part compared to the control. It is concluded that grooming patterns are reliable indices of stress or sensitivity towards heavy metals in aquatic invertebrates.

The Macronuclear Genome of Stentor coeruleus Reveals Tiny Introns in a Giant Cell Abstract The giant, single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus has a long history as a model system for studying pattern formation and regeneration in single cells. Stentor [1, 2] is a heterotrichous ciliate distantly related to familiar ciliate models, such as Tetrahymena or Paramecium. The primary distinguishing feature of Stentor is its incredible size: a single cell is 1 mm long. Early developmental biologists, including T.H. Morgan [3], were attracted to the system because of its regenerative abilities—if large portions of a cell are surgically removed, the remnant reorganizes into a normal-looking but smaller cell with correct proportionality [2, 3].

  • Ecosystem Services Generated by Fish Populations
    AR-211 Ecological Economics 29 (1999) 253 –268 ANALYSIS Ecosystem services generated by fish populations Cecilia M. Holmlund *, Monica Hammer Natural Resources Management, Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University, S-106 91, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract In this paper, we review the role of fish populations in generating ecosystem services based on documented ecological functions and human demands of fish. The ongoing overexploitation of global fish resources concerns our societies, not only in terms of decreasing fish populations important for consumption and recreational activities. Rather, a number of ecosystem services generated by fish populations are also at risk, with consequences for biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and ultimately human welfare. Examples are provided from marine and freshwater ecosystems, in various parts of the world, and include all life-stages of fish. Ecosystem services are here defined as fundamental services for maintaining ecosystem functioning and resilience, or demand-derived services based on human values. To secure the generation of ecosystem services from fish populations, management approaches need to address the fact that fish are embedded in ecosystems and that substitutions for declining populations and habitat losses, such as fish stocking and nature reserves, rarely replace losses of all services. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

  • Aquatic Ecosystems
    February 19, 2014 Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Assessment Aquatic Ecosystems The overall richness of North Carolina’s aquatic fauna is directly related to the geomorphology of the state, which defines the major drainage divisions and the diversity of habitats found within. There are seventeen major river basins in North Carolina. Five western basins are part of the Interior Basin (IB) and drain to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico (Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, French Broad, Watauga, and New). Parts of these five river basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests (NFs). Twelve central and eastern basins are part of the Atlantic Slope (AS) and flow to the Atlantic Ocean. Of these twelve central and eastern basins, parts of the Savannah, Broad, Catawba, and Yadkin-Pee Dee basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs. As described later in this report, the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, for the most part, support higher elevation coldwater streams, and relatively little cool- and warmwater resources. To gain perspective on the importance of aquatic ecosystems on the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, it is first necessary to understand their value at regional and national scales. The southeastern United States has the highest aquatic species diversity in the entire United States (Burr and Mayden 1992; Williams et al. 1993; Taylor et al. 1996; Warren et al. 2000,), with southeastern fishes comprising 62% of the United States fauna, and nearly 50% of the North American fish fauna (Burr and Mayden 1992). Freshwater mollusk diversity in the southeast is ‘globally unparalleled’, representing 91% of all United States mussel species (Neves et al.
